The Rapture Novels & Stories

Everybody wore white and Adara felt strangely out of place in her jeans and jacket. “Take off your clothes,” Karani said and Adara complied without question. She stood only in her underwear in the middle of the circle, yet strangely enough, she felt at peace. The women stepped forward and started washing Adara’s body. She closed her eyes and she could feel something in the air. “This is to signify your cleansing for your resurrection tonight. Your soul will be cleansed when you shift and now, we cleanse your body,” Karani said softly as she watched the women perform their duties.

“On all of us.” The balcony door burst open. Rian rushed in, breathless, eyes wide. “Alpha! Luna! You must come to the eastern watchtower—immediately.” “What occurred?” Kael demanded. “Something is forming over the boundary line,” Rian stated. “It appears to be a rift. And it’s glowing.” Aria’s heart plummeted into her stomach. A rift. A doorway. A tear between the physical realm and ancient cursed energy. She and Kael exchanged a glance—fear, determination, and unspoken understanding—and then they sprinted.

I gingerly lowered my body into a crouch and my hand trembled as I reached for the thrown glove. My fingertips grazed the black leather. It was enough. This was the reading I had: At some unknown juncture in time, the whole sky would be covered by a flock of ravenlike creatures as far as the eye could see. They formed an endless, waving parade of dark flags as if to call forth armies against a weakened ruler. This deluge swept and flowed ceaselessly with an entomo-mechanical roar and in its heart, a flame-wrapped titan was laying waste to human cities. It was an Apocalyptic sight and sound. All sources of light were missing in the heavens and the days of darkness stretched on to eternity. Th

The energy in the air grew unbearable, the tendrils of power now lashing out wildly. “Let the end begin!” he bellowed, his voice a triumphant roar. As the ritual reached its peak, I felt the bond between Rigel and me waver dangerously, the pain of it tearing through my very soul. And then, in a flash of searing light, the vision returned—Rigel collapsing, his body lifeless, as the rogue leader stood victorious. “No!” I screamed, reaching for him, but the light swallowed us whole, and the world dissolved into chaos.

More danger—just what we needed. The Mirage of Home A few hours later, they discovered a small settlement that was unaffected by the surrounding desolation. A faint sound of chatter and laughter floated towards them as smoke curled gently from chimneys. A glimpse of normalcy in a world ripped apart was a startling contrast. Zara scowled. "That isn't feasible. There should be nothing here. Elara automatically reached for her daggers. It's a delusion. These kinds of manifestations are made by the Rift to divert your attention or entice you in.

a man whispered, reaching out to touch the air. Kael felt his own body begin to shrink, the unnatural density of his muscles collapsing. He fell to his knees, his energy pouring out of him until he was nothing but a hollowed-out husk. His vision blurred, the world dissolving into a haze of white light and distant, cheering voices. He heard Julian running up behind him. "Kael! Don't! You're draining yourself dry!" "It's... done," Kael whispered, his voice barely audible. The crowd was no longer a mob. They were a flock, looking toward the Spire with a terrifying, religious awe. They fell to their knees, their hands pressed together in prayer.

However, just as Lyla was about to attack Yancy, a terrifying aura manifested in the eastern part of the void. Under the aura, countless rifts appeared in the void. The void collapsed instantly. James and the others turned to look at the void. They saw Yaquis Holiness and dozens of powerhouses at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation walking over. Upon seeing that, Yancy, who had been terrified, laughed freely. He now had a chance of survival. “My help has arrived. Today will be your doomsday. Lyla, no matter how strong you are, you won’t be the match of a powerhouse in the Quasi Daeclon Rank.

The Fae Wilds around us twitch unnaturally as the trees blur. And then... she doesn’t follow. She just watches me. Her gaze solemn, proud, eternal. KAIA’S POV: It feels like the sky is cracking open above us. The ground heaves and breaks beneath our feet. Axel grabs my shoulder, his face pale. "What the hell is that?" "A rift," I say, my voice hollow. Lightning slices through the storm without thunder. Winds shriek between the trees and everything’s unraveling. Rhea stumbles beside me, dazed, her hand clutching her chest. I see the dragon, looking alive, glorious and yet completely still.

Cassie looks at the candles and asks about one in particular “‘Chuparrosa Veladora Preparada Ritual Para El Amor’ what is this? I know a couple of the words.” I smile “it details a ritual in both Spanish and English to bring you true love. It’s a 7 day candle. You can use some of my roses, if you want to follow it for yourself.” The idea of my best friend finding her true love makes me happy. After all my roses from both Candy and Aldo are placed around my room I get ready for bed and sit to read for a bit while Cassie does her ritual. I hear Adia come in for her date and silently slide out of bed to meet her in the hallway. “Adia, how did it go with Aiden?” I smile broadly.

It's not like a person goes through all this work to track down and locate a hacker, only so that they can send flowers to someone. Rather if a person is sought out to this extent, it typically has a deadly or catastrophic ending. I have to applaud the Rapture person for being able to hide from Craig. That in itself is a big feat. Lord knows I haven't even figured out yet how to do that. So the fact that this person has done it successfully for years, makes me want to shake my hand to them. Applauding them for their efforts. I find myself speeding to a specific location. A location that I had almost forgotten about. But if I'm right, then I think I know where
